I'm excited at the number of articles I've seen about Saturnalia this year. Even the Wild Hunt had something spiffy to say. I don't want to repeat what's already out there, but I have a whole week of posts planned (insofar as I plan posts...)
Coming up this week:
Saturnalia is NOT the winter solstice celebration. Saturnalia =/= Yule. Two different things. True? False? Yes. No.
Saturn as a distinct deity from Kronos, Etruscan in origin, only later conflated by the Romans?
I've read an interesting discussion on this and have gone to the source material to draw my own conclusions.
Keeping Saturnalia. The what, why and how of a modern, practice and a nod to the Reconstructionists who are keepin' it Roman.
My traditional list of every Saturnalia tradition which still survives in popular culture today! The first of which is the title of this post: Io! Say it 3 times fast... Ho ho ho bitches!
